Hi Terri thanks for the answer. I had a swab test positive for HSV1 and my partner has had positive tests for HSV1 one. We think it was spread by cold sore as she had one recently. In terms of sexual intercourse, would you recommend abstaining from it during OB even if both are positive? Spreading it is the only concern and wondering how likely I am to spread it to myself. Also aware there’s not hard science on an answer to this. Thanks.
